During our previous lecture, students read an original Quentin Tarantino script and the film's opening scenes. We discussed how the film starts "in media res" and the best action-ideas (the screenwriting name for plot premise) are often revealed at the beginnings of novels/films (ex: Scarlet Letter) -This activity takes the form of an Edmodo poll for quick assessment of student understanding -Our previous lecture is based on our current reading of Aristotle's Poetics and Screenwriting and the use of the rhetorical triangle Activity 2: "Writing the Action-Idea" Gallery Walk Concentration: Writing -Since the students are responsible for original screenplays, they will practice crafting plots through examination of images.
